in the county ofLinii and State of Oregon,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dispensing-Cans, of which the following' is a specification,"lreferencev to the accompanyingk drawing. f y

This inventionrelates to `an improvement in dispensing cans, and one of the primary obj ects-.of the present invention is theprovision of a simplefand efficient devicelof this character in whichcoinpressed air is utilized as the medium for causing the flow of liquid throughthe' discharge tube of theydispensing can.

structed that it may be readily transported "from place to place.

A lfurther ob"ect of the present Iinvention is the provision of. a device of this character in which the pumpfor creatin an air V1pressure within the tank is carrie by the tank closure which is removable so that accessy can be readily vhad to all parts'of thedevice to enable the saine to be cleaned and kept'in a sanitary condition. V Other objects of the invention will be "ap,-

- parent from tliedetfailed description hereinafter, when read in connection withthe accompanying drawings forming a part here-` of, wherein a convenient embodiment of the invention is illustrated and wherein like characters of reference referto similar parts in the several views.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of the improved dispensing can; Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the 'improved dispensing can.

kReferring now more particularly to the drawings, A designates a metal tank, conveniently cylindrical in shape, which is adapted to contain the liquid which is to be used with the dispensin can. The tank A is provided with suitab e supporting legs a; extending from the bottom thereof and secured to the undersideof the bottom of the tank are guide ways b Zi which extend trans`- versely thereof andare adapted to reinovably support a holder B which is adapted to support an alcohol or other lamp B which may be of any well known construction.

A further object lof thefk present invention ByV theconstruction l above described is possible,when it is found desirable to do so,

to heat 'the liquid contents of the tank by meansfof the lamp B and in order that the liquid maybe heated to any desired temperature, a "thermometer C is secured to the exterior of the tank in any suitable manner, the bulb of said thermometer conveniently extending through the wall of the tank and into the liquid contained therein. By means of the guide ways Z) b whichare provided on `the underside of the bottom of the tank,

it will be seen tliatthe` lamp holder B can be r filling and lighting ofthe lamp B when readily slid therein so as to readily enable is found desirableto use the saine.`

y The upper portion ofthe tank A is open and a closure D provided therefor which has a threaded engagement with the upper end of the tank so that ity may be readily secured in,` positionandremoved fromthe 'tank whenit isl desired to kfill or clean the same. If desired, packing'may be interposed between the closure Dand the adja- Patentedsept. 15,1914...` Application filled October 23, i912.

Thel closure D is provided with' an openinglin the' central i portion thereof and fittingwithin said open-` ing 'and depending from the"closure is an air pump cylinder within` which is l adavptedtowork piston Ey`which may bel l of Vany 'desired construction. The upper end of the pump cylinder E is closed bya cyl'- v inder head E2 whichhas a'threadedfengagel ment with the upper end of the cylinder 4so ,that it may bereadily reniovedwhen itis .desired tocleanthe cylinder" or to obtain access to the piston therein. Extending upwardly-from the closure D adjacentl the periphery thereof is a'rigidf upright f to the upper end of which is pivotally connected in any'suitable manner one end of a punip` operating lever F, ywhich extends transversely across the top of the closure, and the free end of which is bent downwardly into proximity to the closure and 'terminates in an outwardly bent portion f. Pivotally connected to a collar intermediate the ends of the lever F is a piston rod G which `extends downwardly through an opening e formed inthe removable 'cylinder head E2 and the lower end of which is pivotally connected in any suitable manner tothe pump piston E. The opening e in the cylinder head E2 is'slightlygreater in diameter than Glasur@ 1210i the device iS pfevidefl adjacent t the. ee end et the pump( eperatingy lever `F with a loop al 'which is pivoted thereto so i that when the. lever is initsy lowerniost, posibien, Seid. leen may 'be merel @Ver the later-k allyf projectiles' end rofl-i011 'ffllierecl-` When'y the tree end'of the lever is engaged bythe loop d in this mannerzlit will hejseen` that Vthe' piston E- cannot lie-moved in the Cylinder of the airpipe and tliatsu'chlever g tanky adapted to contana liquid, said tank `being openV at its upper endand" being pro.- vided with Y a` liquid outletl ,pipe in y 'con'iniun'ifl cation yWith'the lowerlportion thereof, a elo-f @fiabe-used esa'llandle fnl.
